Introduction:
Congratulations on your new Diabolo 700 UL. This model closes the hole between the
smaller Diabolo 550 and the Diabolo 700/800. It is possible to y the model with a single
6s battery pack. Best results you will get with a 10s battery pack. Then you get an agile
and very precious ying model. Generally we had a main aspect on this model that it
becomes very light. With a frame weight of less than 1600 grams the Diabolo 600 is one
of the lightest helicopters available in that size. Alternatively the Diabolo 600 can also be
converted in an ultralight Diabolo 700 or on the other hand can be own with small 550
blades.
I wish you a lof of fun during assembly and ying of your Diabolo 600.

To this manual:
Following many wishes this manual was assimilated to the manual of the Heli-Baby NT
which was specially designed for beginners to help especially them with basic mounting
technics and to answer many questions reading the manual. So this manual contains
more than 200 pictures in different perspectives to keep no question unanswered. Also
recommended tools are shown. If you see a botttle of Loctite then it means you should
use Loctite in this step.
Independend if you have already assembled many helicopters or of it is your rst one:
Assemble the model careful and without any stress. Being concentrated on the work is the
precondition for a perfect result.

Maintenance and Security
A radio controlled model helicopter and a speed helicopter especially is not a toy. A mistake
can result in serious accidents and injuries.
Please keep the following rules always in your mind:
- During motor tests on the workbench, remove main and tailrotor blades and take care that
nothing touches the rotating rotor heads.
- On electric helicopters you cannot calculate the risk of a sudden starting motor. So move
quickly out of the range of main and tailrotor after you have connected the ight battery.
- If you adjust or program the ESC or FBL on the workbench, remove two of the three motor
cables to eliminate the risk of a sudden motor start.
- Keep a distance to the model of at least 5m (15ft.) to the model during hovering.
- Never aim helicopter towards a person or another living object with your model and keep a
distance to them of at least 20 metres (60ft).
- Remove all Lipo batteries from the model during stocking, and put them on a reproofed con-
tainer on a reresistant oor.
- Attention with kids and pets! Children are only seeing in the model helicopter a toy and do
not see the danger of the turning rotorblades. If you are ying and hear children then climb up
with the model over your head, inform the child, clear the situation and land on a safe place.
Similar rules apply to unroped dogs.
- In case of pending crash, activate throttle hold to turn off ESC.
- Do not mount components from other Diabolo helicopters that are not shown in this manual.

Beutel1: Main rotor shaft unit
Parts overview
Attach the main gearwheel hub D604 with
the side, marked with a „X“ in the main
gearwheel D13 and check the screw holes
for corresponding together.
Add six washers M3 002 to six screws
M3x8 D197 and apply Loctite on the
threads.
Mount the screws, but still do not tighten
them. If all screws are attached then
tighten them crosswise.

Put the mainrotor shaft D605 into the
mainwheel hub, put a jesus bolt D77
through both and tighten the bolt well with
a lock nut M4 009. If the screw does not
easily t then turn the shaft in the hub 180
degree and try again.
Push the spacer bush D606 on the shaft.
Push the upper main shaft bearing plate
D607 on the mainshaft. The ange of the
ball bearing D71a must show to the spa-
cer bush.
Push the lower mainshaft bearing block
D608 on the lower end of the mainshaft.
The ange of the ball bearing D71a must
show to the main gearwheel D13.

View of the assembled unit ready to mount
in the frame. Note that the curved contour
in the lower ball bearing block D608 must
be on the left side (view in ight direction).
Attach the lower ball bearing block D608
on the upper right frame D602 with two
hex bolts M3x6 D196 using Loctite. Tigh-
ten the bolts rst if the screws of the upper
mainshaft bearing block D607 are also
mounted.
Attach the upper ball bearing block D607
with two hex bolts M3x6 D196 still without
Loctite and tighten it only a bit, because
later you must open the bearing block
again to insert the elevator servo in its
slot.
After tightening the four screws check the
mainshaft for easily turning without any
endplay.

Bag 2: First stage shaft
Parts overview
Push the freewheel hub D509 from the „X“
marked side in the rst stage gearwheel
D611 and check mounting holes for corre-
sponding.
Add four washers M3 002 on four hex
lense screws M3x8 D199 and attach
Loctite to the therads, screw them into the
holes and tighten the screws crosswise.
Push the belt wheel D610 on the pinion
shaft D609 upto the end. First add now
a grub screw M4x5 035 with Loctite on
the area of the shaft with the at spot and
tighten it. Then add a second grub screw
M4x5 035 in the second threaded hole
with Loctite and tighten it. Finally add a
washer shim 10x16x0,2 033.

Push the mounted freewheel unit on the
pinion shaft D609.
Add a washer shim 10x16x0,2 033.
Push the lower bearing block D612 with
the anged bearing D70 onto the shaft
showing with the anged side of the ball
bearing to the freewheel unit. Note the dif-
ferent inner contour of the bearing block.
The rounded side is the longer side that is
on the left side (view in ight direction).
Push the upper bearing block D613 (with
the cover plate) and the anged bearing
D70 onto the upper pin of the pinion shaft
showing the ange of the bearing to the
toothed gear wheel.

Overview over the mounted rst stage unit
ready to mount in the frame. Please note
that the bearing blocks are assymetric ,
the rounded contour is longer than the rec-
tangular contour and is placed on the left
side (view in ight direction).
Add the toothed belt 713 in the belt wheel
and position the unit as shown on the cor-
responding holes of the frame.
Mount the rst stage with four screws
M3x6 D196 using Loctite. First mount all
screws loose. If all screws are mounted
then tighten them. After that check the
gear mesh. There must a small play be
noticable. Is the mesh too small then open
all screws of mainshaft and rst stage
again, pull the mainshaft unit backwards
during tightening and the rst stage for-
ward and check the gear mesh again.
Bag 3: Belt tightener
Parts overview

Two ball bearings 3x10x4 064 are pushed
on a lense screw M3x12 982, followed
from a washer shim 3x6x1 051 and will be
attached with Loctite on the belt tightening
lever D614.
A hex bolt M3x22 D332 is pushed into the
longer dampening rubber ring holder D615
and mounted with Loctite on the rst hole
of the belt tightening lever. The other holes
are thought for personally experiments.
A hex bolt M3x30 D337 is pushed into the
shorter dampening rubber holder (longer
end of the holder outside).
Three ball bearings 3x10x4 and a washer
shim 3x6x0.2 455 are following.
